God Will Get You for That

Title: “Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week: From the Entrance Into Jerusalem To The Resurrection”

Author: Pope Benedict XVI

Rank: 23

Blurb: “Benedict brings to his study the vast learning of a brilliant scholar, the passionate searching of a great mind, and the deep compassion of a pastor’s heart.”

Review: “While some reviews have focused on the fact that Benedict is more willing to point the blame of the Resurrection at Pilate and the Romans instead of the Jews, there are other moments of ecumenism from the Holy Father.”

Footnote: How you get from the Sermon on the Mount to an opulent palace in Rome is another story.

True. It involves a lot of lies and killing… and love. Always remember the love.

Speaking of books that bamboozle people into believing nonsense, Atlas Shrugged movie is looking for Youtubers to say “I am John Galt” (link is to discussion on alicublog)

For bonus points, note that the producers’ getting people to do this for free makes them the kind of “looters” Randroids are supposed to hate. The comments on the blog are epic as well, and the crazy-eyed videos speak for themselves…

@baked: Yeah. It was Vinnie who did it. Remember, this Pope was in the Hitler Jugend.
